Welcome First Security Credit Union

Welcome to United Credit Union

On November 14, 2018, First Security Credit Union members voted overwhelmingly in favor of the merger with United Credit Union. The Board of Directors from both credit unions mutually agree that this partnership is a tremendous opportunity to create more value for our membership.

The merger will enhance the services, benefits and convenience of both credit unions and the communities we serve. Once both credit unions are integrated, First Security Credit Union members will receive the following benefits:

3 convenient branch locations

Access to the Shared Branch Network with over 5,000 credit union branches nationwide that will be available to members for access to their credit union account(s)

Access to 30,000 surcharge free ATMs nationwide

Saturday hours at all branch locations, and extended weekday hours

Fisher and the rest of the former First Security Credit Union team will be available to assist you at the United Credit Union office located at 5901 North Cicero Avenue, Suite 106 inside the Executive Tower building beginning January 7, 2019.
